Welcome to our TGS site which has been set up to give Old Thornburians a focus for their nostalgia.

Thanks to our many contributors it is developing into a very general site to appeal to all ages who attended the school (including staff!).

We hope that you enjoy browsing the contents, and welcome all contributions.

NEW

Do look at a new selection of photographs from the 1940s, a very under-represented era, courtesy of Pat Ward.

David Price has kindly filled a huge gap for us. The 1950 panoramic school photograph is now available.

A huge batch of interesting photographs of pupils from the early 70s have arrived, courtesy of Chris Broadbent.
